    This is pretty interesting!

    I know its only a standard WB, but it would still be pretty cool to rebuild and have similar to that ex-NRMA van thats been going around! I'd snap it up if it was closer!
    Cheers,

    would be nice if it had an 8 in it, I remeber in the early days there was an hz v8 4 speed racv van in our local town, and it was the ford dealer who owned it!

    Would be good to do up, and return to the service vehicle standard. Wouldn't be too hard to do.

    Yup, if I had the space and money and it was a bit closer, I'd be on it like a fat kid on a cake! bahahaha

    Sorry to be a party pooper but.... What is so rare about a ute that has been used by the local Holden Dealer/Garage as a breakdown vehicle? The hardest part to find for an RACV roadside assist ute is the light in the middle of the roof rack. Everything else on the car is bog standard and can be obtained at your local hardware place. All the signage on the car is not official RACV and the car isn't even yellow.

    added

    had another look and the passenger door has an RAC vic sticker on it.

    None of us said that it is rare! It is just interesting, all because of not seeing one everyday... It may be bog stock and all the rest may be attainable from other sources, but did you ever think that not everything has to be top of the line??

    Just because it is stock, doesn't mean that it is worth nothing! To some people - me included - it would be a good car to restore to its former glory for other people to see and admire the cars from the past, that would also keep the old cars alive within the community.

    Just because one person thinks it is worth bugger all, doesn't mean that a young budding Holden enthusiast can't buy it and enjoy it. Besides, because it is all stock it isn't a bad base to let a young fulla build his own car.

    I'm not having a go at you, I'm just pointing out that it may not be worth much to one person but it can be a vastley different opinion from somebody that wants something out of the oridinary..
